Dunbar Police Civil Service Commission upholds former Lieutenant Adam Masons firing, following misconduct probes linked to two million three hundred thousand dollar settlements. Mason was dismissed for insubordination after refusing to sign a document from one investigation. The first case involved a high-speed chase of Robert Hensley, resulting in his death, with Mason criticized for not stopping the pursuit and failing to aid him. The second probe looked into the death of Michael Scott Junior while in custody, with reports criticizing officers for excessive force and dishonesty. Mason was also blamed for poor supervision of patrolman Zachary Winters, leading to another excessive force claim settlement. These rulings mark a significant step towards accountability for Dunbar Police, following costly payouts and public scrutiny.
